Shaun Micallef’s MAD AS HELL

A half-fortnightly reaping, threshing and winnowing of current affairs asphodel by the combine harvester that is Shaun Micallef.

Along with a like-minded Think Tank of reporters and pundits, Shaun Micallef’s MAD AS HELL offers not only reportage and analysis of the week’s events, but discussion, argument and dissection of what’s making the world turn every which way.

Other members of the cast include Francis Greenslade, Roz Hammond, Tosh Greenslade (not related to Francis), Emily Taheny and Stephen Hall

STEPHEN HALL

CAST - MAD AS HELL

Stephen's no stranger to animation voice work, having voiced "Butterfield", the villain in Cartoon Network's telemovie 'Monster Beach', and various other characters for Cartoon Network's 'Exchange Student Zero'.

The consummate comedic chameleon, Stephen’s recent screen work includes regular appearances on Shaun Micaleff’s Mad As Hell playing a diverse range of usually unhinged and hilarious characters. In addition to his appearances, Stephen is also a writer on the show.

Following its success, the show was revived for a season in the 2014 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

In 2011, Stephen co-wrote the stage comedy Bond-A-Rama! Every James Bond Film Live On Stage in which he played not one, but three, of the most memorable Bonds: Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. The show was a sell-out, prompting a second season the following year.
